Filter by:This study aims to determine if there is any difference in the efficacy of radiotherapy for glioma outcomes in the morning or in the evening. The study team believes that there may be a benefit to taking the radiotherapy at a certain time of day. To test this theory the study asks participants who are already taking radiotherapy for glioma consistently at either the morning or in the evening based on when they currently take their radiotherapy. There will be this study visits where the participant will be asked to fill in questionnaires related to their neurological symptoms, their sleep habits, sleep quality, survival situation, and general health information followed by a blood draw.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and performance of the SonoClear Acoustic Coupling Fluid (ACF). The performance will be assessed by analysis of the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and assessment of image quality by using the Surgeon Image Rating (SIR) Scale. This is a prospective, multi-centre single-arm study where the performance of SonoClear ACF relative to routinely used acoustic coupling fluid is investigated by each patient being their own control. Patients with the diagnosis of HGG and LGG at up to 10 sites will be included. Additionally, safety data are collected at 30 days and 6 months post-procedure.
This phase I trial studies the effects and best dose of ONC206 alone or in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with diffuse midline gliomas that is newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent) or other recurrent primary malignant CNS tumors. ONC206 is a recently discovered compound that may stop cancer cells from growing. This drug has been shown in laboratory experiments to kill brain tumor cells by causing a so called "stress response" in tumor cells. This stress response causes cancer cells to die, but without affecting normal cells. ONC206 alone or in combination with radiation therapy may be effective in treating newly diagnosed or recurrent diffuse midline gliomas and other recurrent primary malignant CNS tumors.
The present study aims to investigate the potential application of multispectral analysis, hyperspectral imaging, and fluorescence during neuro-oncological procedures, specifically during brain tumour debulking / resection. These optics techniques are entirely non-invasive and consist in camera with a filter to be linked to the standard microsurgical and endoscopic instruments used in theatre. The research procedure consists of images acquisition and data processing, with virtually no additional invasive procedures to be performed on patients.
This study focused on glioma patients with postoperative motor deficits, especially for patients with supplementary motor area syndrome. The investigators want to investigate whether the recovery of motor function will be accelerated by using transcranial magnetic stimulation to stimulate primary motor area and supplementary motor area on the lesional hemisphere.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment regimen of using Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) and Hypo-fractionated Radiation Therapy to treat patients with newly diagnosed gliomas.
Despite the fact that use of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire - Brain Neoplasm (QLQ-BN20) has tremendously contributed to insight into the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of brain tumor patients, certain items of the questionnaire have raised issues, and new treatments have been introduced, with different toxicity profiles not covered by the current measure. These observations have led to the recognition that a revision of the QLQ-BN20 is warranted. The aim of this project is to update the current EORTC QLQ-BN20 questionnaire.
This research study wants to develop advanced imaging methods to more accurately characterize prostate cancer or solid tumor aggressiveness. This observational study involves [18F]DCFPyL positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI)
This study is a single-arm, open-label, phase II study of anlotinib combined with radiation in the treatment of patients with malignant brainstem glioma. Twenty five patients will be enrolled in the study who is diagonsis with malignant brainstem glioma. The primary objective includes disease control rate (DCR), the role of antinib combined with radiotherapy in improving quality of life and 6-month progression-free survival rate. The secondary objective include overall survival (OS), toxicity profile. Exploratory objectives include the use of plasma specimens and cerebrospinal fluid (if possible) to detect biomarkers predicting the efficacy of anlotinib.
This is a pilot study that will evaluate disease status in children that have been newly diagnosed high-grade glioma with TRK fusion. The evaluation will occur after 2 cycles of the medication (Larotrectinib) have been given. The study will also evaluate the safety of larotrectinib when given with chemotherapy in your children; as well as the safety larotrectinib when given post-focal radiation therapy.
